Chapter 224 The End of the Zhu Clan (1)
Murong Xi waved his hand and smiled and said, "No, even if he knew about it, he wouldn't dare to act rashly now. Murong Xie and Murong Zhao's people are staring at him." Gu Xiuting nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I told the Eighth Prince to , he will definitely protect Zhu Bian. If we intervene rashly now, it will attract suspicion.”

Murong Xi smiled and said: "Murong Yu should already know that someone is plotting against him in secret." In fact, Murong Yu should have guessed who did it from the fact that Murong Yu's subordinates turned their backs.But what if you guessed it?He has no evidence, and he has no ability to deal with him again.Just Murong Xie and Murong Zhao are enough to make him flustered.

Gu Xiuting nodded and said: "Then... send the evidence of Zhu's murder of aunt to the palace now?" In fact, the so-called evidence is not much, after all, it was more than ten years ago.But if it is combined with the fact that Murong Xi was drugged, it will be much easier.If it wasn't for Zhu Mingyan, if it wasn't for Murong Yu's attack on Murong Xi, maybe they would never know the real cause of Queen Gu's death.

Murong Xi nodded, and his slightly locked brows loosened a lot. He said with a faint smile, "My mother has passed away for more than ten years, but I, a son, don't even know the cause of her death. And... really Unfilial." After Queen Gu passed away, the relationship between Murong Xi and Murong Yu became closer day by day, and they almost regarded Murong Yu as one of the most trusted brothers besides Gu Xiuting.In terms of Murong Yu's face, he is not too kind to Zhu Shi.Thinking about it now, it is not only unfilial, but also extremely stupid.

"Cousin, aunt won't blame you." Gu Xiuting sighed softly, "Didn't we all see that Murong Yu had ulterior motives in those few years?"

Being able to fool Murong Xi, Gu Xiuting, and even everyone in the Gu family, it has to be said that Murong Yu's role as a good brother is still quite well concealed.Or maybe...it wasn't a fake in the first place.After all, for people like them who grew up in the court, it is not easy to approach them with different thoughts.It can only be said... people's hearts are unpredictable.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has summoned you." Outside the door, the guards of Prince Ping's Mansion rushed over.

The smile on Murong Xi's face was complete, he got up and said calmly: "This king knows."

The Qianqing Hall is the place where Huaguo's government discusses affairs. Generally, there are only people in this place during the early dynasty.But today, long after the early court, there are still many people standing in the Qianqing Palace.Of course, Huahuang was also sitting on the high dragon chair.

"Report to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Ping asks to see you." At the door, the eunuch guarding the gate cautiously reported.

Hua Huang raised his head and said calmly: "Xuan."

Murong Xi strolled here wearing an ordinary light blue brocade suit, which was in stark contrast to the people in the hall who either wore heavy court attire or prince prince's attire.There was a faint tired smile between his brows, and he was far away from everyone, as if he were two people from completely different times.

"Mr. Murong Xi, I greet Your Majesty." Murong Xi raised the hem of his clothes, knelt down on the ground and respectfully said.

Everyone present could not help but take a deep breath.Although His Royal Highness Ping Wang has not been in court for several years, he should not even forget the rules and etiquette.He even refused to call his father. Does His Highness King Ping really have such courage?

There was silence in the hall, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.The princes even frowned and looked at Murong Xi who was kneeling on the ground. Murong Zhao, who was a little more courageous, quietly glanced at Hua Huang in the hall, for fear that he would fly into a rage on the spot.

"Let's get down." After a long time, I finally heard Hua Huang's voice faintly, but surprisingly, there was no anger.Murong Xi got up calmly, "Thank you Your Majesty."

After getting up, Murong Xi was not in a hurry to speak, but slowly swept around the crowd present.The dignified Murong Ke, the third and fifth princes who have nothing to do with him, the calm Murong Xie and the complacent Murong Zhao.Of course, there was also Murong Yu, who had a gloomy expression, implying that he was out of breath.

"Second brother." Murong Ke called out in a deep voice, motioning him to stand beside him.Murong Ke didn't know why his second brother, who had always been calm, suddenly became uncharacteristically and almost blatantly challenged his father's bottom line today, but he really didn't want to see his father Long Yan furious, no matter it was against him or not.

Murong Xi strolled over to stand behind Murong Ke.Hua Huang glanced at the princes below, before he said calmly: "Is everyone here?"

Murong Zhao took a look at Murong Yu, and said, "Father, at this time, you have ordered your servants to come, but what orders do you have?"

Hua Huang snorted coldly and said: "You are diligent."

Seemingly hearing that Emperor Hua was not angry with him, Murong Zhao said with a smile: "It is the duty of a minister to be loyal to the father."

They all just got the news that King Pingnan asked to see Murong Ke, and they were announced into the palace by Emperor Hua before they had time to find out clearly.But Murong Zhao understood that Zhu Bian was looking for Murong Ke, and Murong Ke didn't dare to go to the palace to report to his father, so he definitely had something to do with Murong Yu.

Looking at the courtiers present, they are not so much courtiers as royal family members.Almost all of them are people who have some kind of relationship and title with the royal family, and there are no ordinary courtiers who have nothing to do with it.Murong Zhao knew very well that what Hua Huang wanted to deal with should be the royal family's private affairs.But he was really curious about what happened to Murong Yu.I remembered what Mr. Zhang said yesterday that there will be a good show to watch today. Is this what he was talking about?

Hua Huang glanced coldly at Murong Yu, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in Murong Yu's heart.But things have been bad enough for him lately.Back then, framing the Gu family and bringing down Murong Xi was the riskiest and most rewarding bet in his life.Now that even this matter has been exposed, can there be worse things?

"Bring it here." Hua Huang's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.It seemed that what was brought up was not a person, but an unrelated thing.

A woman in a light green dress was escorted into the hall.The woman has a beautiful appearance, although she is a little older, she still has a charm.More importantly, this woman... they are all familiar.That was Murong Yu's biological mother, who is now from Yungui - Zhu Shi.

"Your Majesty, the empress and all the empresses are here."

"Let them come in." Hua Huang said.The Qianqing Hall is different from the Qinzheng Hall, which is the emperor's sleeping hall.The Qianqing Hall is the place where the emperor discussed the government in the early court, and female family members were not allowed to come.But there are exceptions, such as when the matter involves both the former dynasty and the harem, such as now.

After a while, the queen walked in wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe.Following her were concubines and princesses who also wore clothes representing their respective identities.Originally, Mu Qingyi was a special conferred princess by Emperor Hua, so she should not be used like Princess Minghe and Princess Huaiyang, but for some unknown reason, the queen brought her here as well.
